Saying goodbye to the Aston Martin DB9

A Ferrari F12 can feel hyperactive; a fast Porsche 911 can feel cold; that Bentley Continental always feels its size. Of all GT cars, though, to my mind the Aston has the most pleasing handling balance. If you had to write a book on how a big coupé

A brief history of the Bentley Continental GT

In 2004 Bentley updated the Continental GT to Mulliner Driving Specification, through the addition of much lavishness. Said lavishness included a voice activated in-car telephone and a whole bunch of new interior trim options, including magnolia hides

Bentley refreshes the Continental GT with more power and features

Bentley hasn't yet announced anything too groundbreaking for the Geneva Motor Show, though an all-new sports coupe concept and the much-publicized Bentayaga SUV (yep, that's really the name) seem to be possibilities. Whether or not either of those new

2016 Bentley Continental GT

The Bentley Continental GT has been around for more than a decade now, but its timeless appeal isn't hard to understand. It's one of a handful of cars that starts--not ends--at 500 horsepower. And with astonishing performance a given no matter how many

The modern Bentley Continental GT redefined the modern grand tourer. When it was introduced in 2004, it set new standards for luxury and performance, with a powerful twin turbocharged W12 engine under the bonnet that was mated to an appropriately modern all-wheel drive system for all weather traction. While the W12 continued on, a modern, small displacement turbocharged V8 was introduced and while not as powerful as the W12, the V8 became my choice of engine in the Continental, for its throatier sounds and, more importantly, that there was less... Through the 2015 model year, it’s been so successful for Bentley that they’ve delivered over 52,000 Continentals in 11 years and it remains Bentley’s most popular model each year. Walkaround For 2016, the visual changes are obvious, from the sharper, more sporting lower front fascia, which looks like it was originally designed for the racing Continental GT3 and softened for the road car. Wheel styling is also modernized with three new designs, including Bentley’s first direction design, a twenty-one-inch wheel unique to the V8 S and W12 Speed. Interior The interior of the 2016 Continental is largely unchanged, save for minor details, but it remains one of the most luxurious cabins found today. Source: www.autofocus.ca

will introduce the drop-top version of the sixth-gen S-Class. Although it brings infinite headroom to Stuttgart’s sixth generation of range-topping luxury cars, the new S-Class Convertible is actually the first drop-top to wear the S-Class badge and the first open-top luxury four-seater from Mercedes-Benz... Once it’s out, the S-Class Cabriolet should be a strong competitor against the likes of the 2016 Bentley Continental GT Convertible sibling below the beltline, which makes it a gorgeous cabriolet to look at. It comes with the same aggressive yet... Though it’s not as sleek as the coupe with the top up, particularly because of the smaller quarter windows and the not-so-smooth shape of the soft-top as it descends toward the rear, the S-Class Convertible is downright handsome with the top... It’s not as bulky as the Bentley Continental GT Convertible and not as aggressive as the DB9 Volante. The soft sculpted bucket seats also make their appearance in the S-Class Convertible, as is the optional red full-leather upholstery. Source: www.topspeed.com

Start at the Aston Martin monument near Aston Clinton, or go to that road in the film Skyfall, or something convoluted or tenuous like that. The Aston Martin DB9 is a car I’ve just always liked driving. And so to mark the fact that it’ll disappear from production next year, and that this model – the DB9 GT – is meant to be “the best a DB9 can be”, I’m just going to take it for a drive. The GT is the end of a 12-year journey for the DB9, the ultimate version in the only proper sense of the word. The DB9 itself could hardly be more significant to Aston. It’s the first of the VH architecture cars, the aluminium underpinnings whose metaphorically flexible ‘vertical’ and ‘horizontal’ components mean Aston can make a car as long as it likes and fit whatever components it likes. It’s so versatile that Aston used to get a bit uppity if you called it a ‘platform’, because that suggests the platform is now 12 years old. Yet pull the skin off a DB9 now and from a 2004 model and they’d look different enough underneath. The DB9, Vantage , Vanquish and Rapide , as well as the shorter-lived Virage and DBS, have all been hung from versions of this same architecture.
